HÀ NỘI — Saudi Arabia has urged Vietnamese exporters of meat and seafood products to register their companies with product information on its Food and Drug Authority website.

On the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s website, its department of African, Western and Southern Asian markets has stated that the ministry received a note regarding the registrations from the Embassy of Saudi Arabia on March 31.

Saudi Arabia recommends that Vietnamese food export firms register information via the link: sfda.gov.sa/ar/food/eservices/Pages/FERS1.aspx, the MoIT said on its website on Monday.
